It was such a bummer that Phantogram’s last album, Ceremony didn’t get its due since it was released just barely after the pandemic was declared back in 2020.

Read moreStray Kids – ATE, Mini-Album Review
I have been truly blessed this year in such a short amount of time with so much new K-pop! Just barely two and half months after ATEEZ’s latest banger, Golden Hour: Part 1, Stray Kids have upped the anti with their latest mini album, Ate.
